Biography

Born into a musical family, Tenny Ten spent most of his youth backstage at his parents’ concerts, observing in the recording studio or watching them both on TV. His future was shaped and he started writing and performing at the age of 10.

Tenny writes contagious melodies combined with intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics - approaching subjects untouched by most. Tenny is recognised by his sharp and vibrant dress-style which adds to his larger-than-life stage presence. His live performance is faultless and the charisma he displays within moments of hitting the stage is unrivalled.
Despite this, in private he is a very humble and intellectual individual.

He has recently had the most respected hip hop magazine in the UK, Hip Hop Connection, confirm on a 2 page spread that, “If magical talent has any influence on success then Tenny (aka 10Shott) is the future of UK rap”.
Tim Westwood played a drop Tenny did for him and said on air, “You can tell you’re big in the game when you get sent drops like this”.

Tenny Ten was signed to ZY Records in 2008 and began recording his debut album, ‘Groundbreaker’. The album is supported by 3 broadcast quality videos (all of which have received rotation on MTV Base, Channel U or Flava TV) and his next video is due in Autumn ’09.

‘Groundbreaker’ is tipped to be a seminal piece of work and will do exactly what the title states. It features a track produced by Vinny Idol adding to Tenny’s growing list of collaborations which include award-winning producer Mr Woo, Bashy, Show n Prove and Quincey Tones.
